Best Answer

The spindle of a lathe is a rotating hollow tube within, and protruding the head stock and to which a chuck, drive plate or facing plate attaches and rotates to enable machining.

It is housed within the head stock in bearings and has some gears around it which is driven by other gears which in turn is driven by an electrical motor.
